Acne Home Remedies – Best Homemade Treatments for Acne
Many people are searching for acne home remedy because they are tired of spending money on acne products that don’t work. There are many natural acne cures; here are some that work successfully for most people.
Recently I had a terrible acne outbreak. Looking in the mirror made me scream. I didn’t want to try all advertised acne creams and went to a dermatologist straight away. I asked her to prescribe me a strong acne medicine with a high concentration of benzoyl peroxide, something that would surely work.
To my surprise, the doctor said, no, no strong medication yet, let’s try something else. She gave me several recopies for acne home remedies. I was disappointed, but since the doctor said it should work I tried her homemade remedies. At first I didn’t want to believe it, but my skin looked better and better every day. After about two weeks there was no trace of acne. Here are the remedies that helped me, hope that they will work for you as well.
1. Mix of rosewater and lemon
Lemon is an excellent cleanser for acne affected skin. You can mix fresh lemon juice with rose water and apply to affected skin. Wash off after half an hour with clean water. This acne remedy usually shows great results in a few days and in a couple weeks acne should completely disappear from your face.
2. Toothpaste
Ordinary toothpaste can dramatically help with acne. If your face feels swollen, put a little bit of toothpaste on your pimples before going to bed. Your skin will feel much better in the morning.
3. Mint
Mint has been used to stop acne for centuries. It probably grows in your garden or you can buy it in a fruit and vegetable shop. Squeeze juice from mint leaves and apply to your face before going to bed.
4. Vinegar
Simple home vinegar is an effective acne cleanser. Mix it with a little salt and gently rub into your face. Wash off in about 30 minutes.
5. Cucumber
Most women know that cucumber is great for your skin. It can also be used to fight and prevent acne. Make a cucumber paste, put it on your face and let is stay there for several minutes. Unlike lemon and vinegar cucumber doesn’t dry your face, quite the opposite, it moisturize your skin and supplies it with vitamins. Use cucumber mask twice a week and you will see definite improvements to your skin condition.
Acne diet is important for any acne treatment
Well, there is no such thing as a special “acne diet”; however, what you eat is greatly important for the condition of your skin. Previously, to cure acne doctors suggested cutting down only oily and sugary foods. Modern research shows that eating pizza and drinking soda, doesn’t cause acne. What is really essential for acne diet is to consume enough vitamins and minerals. Vitamins that are known to help with acne are Vitamin A, Vitamin E and most B group vitamins. So balanced diet is required to stop acne outbreaks.

Drinking your 8 glasses of water is also important in a fight against acne. Enough water helps your body to clean itself of toxins. Which means less harmful substances on your skin.
I personally found rose-lemon mix the most effective. It helped to clear my face and the smell of it is just heaven. Some people recommended garlic as an acne cure, but would you like to smell of garlic when you go out?
Try using a natural acne home remedy instead of over the counter acne products. Don’t trust the ads when they tell you that nothing can clean your skin as well as “you name it” acne cream or cleanser. Home treatments for acne work just fine and they are surely less harmful for your skin than harsh chemicals used in acne medicine.

Good afternoon .
I have something to say, about aloe vera, something about which you wrote above, about health and personal care… For a long time, I and my fine friend use the products of the Forever Living Products Company. We always see the fine results and also we earn money for our families and we are happy. My friend works with Aloe in the company of forever living has more than 5 years (My friend works ONLY in the forever living company and has a wife and three children). I know AloeVera products for weight management for a long time, but a year ago, began working as a distributor in the Forever Living Products.
Of course, this job is some difficult, but in no other case, You can earn so much much money with so much fun and smiling faces around.
So if you want to discuss something about your article, and about my experience with aloe vera products for weight loss, I’ll always be glad to talk.
Best regards from Washington state and have a nice day!
